When I was in Kuwait, we got the Indian newspapers, hence my justification for the rows with Asian Twitcher Shanks Prima and Giskhan.
They had a very active matrimonial column. Invariably "Boy wants to meet fairskinned Girl, preferably with UK/US visa."
Kaffir is Arabic for unbeliever.
"Hubshi" - fighting talk - is Hindi for "Wooly headed" i.e. Negro.
My secretary in Kuwait got engaged to a man darker skinned than she. No dowry, you see. I was told she couldn't easily return to india. (Her grandfather was a Welshman employed on the Indian Railways).
